QUICK REVIEW: Panda Express Orange Chicken with Bacon

Purchased Price: $7.89 for 2-entree plate, plus 50 cent upchargeSize: N/APurchased at: Panda ExpressRating: 8 out of 10Pros: Does bacon make Panda Express’ Orange Chicken better? Yes. Applewood-smoked bacon pieces are thick and their smoky and salty flavor goes well with the sweet orange sauce. I received more pieces of bacon than pieces of chicken (your servings may vary). Orange Chicken exterior remains slightly crispy even after being drenched with sauce and sitting in a tray for a while.Cons: 50 cent upcharge for it. Its color is lighter than their Orange Chicken and it has a slightly milder flavor than their regular Orange Chicken, but the chicken gets easily stuck between my molars like their Orange Chicken. Panda Express says it’s spicy, but I’ve never considered their Orange Chicken to be spicy. Has almost double the sodium and saturated fat than regular Orange Chicken. Bacon not crispy, but what should I expect for bacon that’s been drenched with sauce and sitting in a tray for a while.

Hey Marvo, you’re kinda asian, have you ever heard of bacon being included in anything remotely resembling asian cuisine? Even in the most white bread chinese-american China King in the middle of the midwest I’ve never seen bacon! A few years ago I could get Panda Express jumping on the “bacon makes everything better” bandwagon, but now it just seems pretty wierd.
